...belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat." But these are serious times: the same day the Senate convened with two Democratic seats unfilled (comedian Al Franken's microscopic margin of victory is being contested in Minnesota), Obama announced that the nation could soon face a trillion-dollar deficit. Instead of serious leadership, Congress gave us the Burris showdown--in which gall challenged sanctimony while insincerity vied with incompetence...
...Larry Summers, in the following sense: when monetary policy has lost all traction, then your only hope is fiscal policy. The danger with fiscal policy is that they'd do too little, because we've spent the last umpteen years saying we've got to keep our deficit under control. This is not the time to worry about that. Until [Summers] came along, I was struck by how modest all of the stimulus packages everyone was talking about were. He's sort of the [John] Maynard Keynes of today.

...kept Wishart on her toes throughout the game, even remaining aggressive in 4-on-5 situations. Instead of defending its goal and making attempts at clearing the puck, the Crimson preferred to take the fight to the Bobcats territory where Harvard continued to fire at Wishart despite the player deficit.

The reserves came through, especially midway through the second half. As Maine rallied from a 30-23 halftime deficit to tie things up with about 14 minutes to play, strong play from the backups kept it a back-and-forth game for the next five minutes. After a layup from Lin with 9:33 left gave Harvard a 48-46 lead, McGeary nailed a three on the next possession...
